The festive season is finally here which means more fun, more food, and more sparkle. You have found that perfect Diwali outfit and chosen your glitter nail polish. Now it is the time to master your hair. The Diwali parties give an excuse to try out the hair tutorial you have been obsessing over. But how do you tame those flyaways and make your bun stay put the whole day? We have rounded up a few hairstyling hacks that will make you stand out at the next party.

Point Your Blow Dryer at the Inside of a Brush

For a more voluminous style, point your blow dryer at the inside of your round brush. Just remember to rough dry your hair first and remove any excess moisture before you begin any detail styling. Also, blow dry your hair in sections, with each section no wider than the width of your brush.

Brush Your Hair before Shower

Your hair is the weakest when it is wet, so brushing it after a shower can lead to breakage and split ends. So if you want to save your hair and make them look voluminous this Diwali, brush it before you hop in the shower. Got Bangs? Here’s How to Avoid Unwanted Forehead Acne.

Apply a Texturing Spray

If your hair tends to fall flat in ponytails and plaits, you can give it a boost with a texturising spray. You can also use a toothbrush to backcomb it lightly. To prevent your hair from falling flat on the top, you can put it in a half ponytail and then tease the crown area before tying the lengths into a ponytail.

Use Bobby Pins Generously

Having a lot of Bobby pins in stock can be a lifesaver. Bobby pins can keep ponytails and buns from falling flat throughout the day. After tying up your hair in a ponytail, insert two or more Bobby pins. Slide them over the hair tie on the bottom portion. Make sure to position them at a steep angle. By doing this, you can make your ponytail appear higher.

Tame Flyaways with Toothbrush

This may sound strange, but using a toothbrush can actually help to tame flyaways. Simply grab an unused toothbrush, spritz a bit of hairspray to it, and brush it gently to tame flyaway hair.
